Colin Firth at his finest

A few times in my life I’ve had moments of absolute clarity, when for a few brief seconds the silence drowns out the noise and I can feel rather than think, and things seem so sharp and the world seems so fresh.

I can never make these moments last. I cling to them, but like everything, they fade.
I have lived my life on these moments.

They pull me back to the present, and I realize that everything is exactly the way it was meant to be.

Il Ferroviere di Pietro Germi

Pietro Germi este Unic in cinematografia italiana

Este preferatul meu regizor italian (si asta spune multe), si nu are cum altfel, dupa Divorzio all’italiana (1961), Sedotta e abandonata (1964) si Signore e Signori (1966), sau chiar Gelosia (1953).

Urmeaza: Il Brigante Di Tacca Del Lupo (1952)

UVA !

Ce are deosebit acest film noir? (pe langa cele vazute recent -Whirlpool (1949), Where The Sidewalk Ends (1950), Murder My Sweet (1944) )

Flitul non-stop adresat pretioaselor ridicole de 2 lei. Este o dovada de personalitate, tarie de caracter si filosofie de viata

Si filmul nu e rau deloc.

… but because the reality of the world resists us… because our actions seem like a dream of indefinite progress.

He hates when reality clashes with his dream. As if he blames you for being the malicious messenger of the opaque reality that we cannot predict.

Si atat

Martyrs are rare.
A martyr, that’s something else…

A martyr is an exceptional thing. It survives suffering, the lacking of everything.
We burden it with all the evil of the world, and he transcends himself.

The root of man’s problems is memory. Without a past, every day would be a new beginning.

For two days and two nights, I sat at my door. Watching the shifting clouds, I realised though I lived here a long time, I’d never really looked at the desert.
Before, when I saw a mountain, I wanted to know what lay behind. But not any more.

I was born under the influence of a total eclipse.
Love was destined to be out of reach.

Este incredibil ce poate inspira acest film. E greu de definit, de exprimat si de conceput ce simti atunci cand femeile striga in fantana dupa Chobo.

We’re going somewhere nice.

It’s far away.

That’s it.

It’s not too cold or too hot there.

Flowers bloom all the time.

And lots of pretty birds I’ve never seen.

Humphrey Bogart este indiscutabil genial si superb in acest film noir. Agresivitatea lui e cu adevarat placuta.

Il consider ca fiind cel mai bun rol al sau.

I was born when she kissed me

I died when she left me

I lived a few weeks while she loved me
